Late diagnosis of positive HIV serology in pregnancy incidentally discovered by the widespread appearance of Kaposi's sarcoma.

The authors report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) found in a pregnant woman. On discovery, the condition had spread throughout her body as is characteristic in some cases of individuals with HIV-positive serology. She was unaware of her HIV positive status.

[Genital condylomas in women. Treatment using a CO2 laser: analysis of 141 cases].

141 patients who had lesions caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) in the vulva and vagina (63 cases) or in the cervix (78 cases) were routinely treated solely by using CO2 laser. The lesions were vaporized when they were localised to the perineum and in certain selected cases in the cervix after they had been examined colposcopically and had biopsies taken. We resorted to conisation when lesions were not completely visible or when they were associated with CIN III (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ).
